People who learn calligraphy, especially middle-aged and elderly people, have only begun to learn calligraphy, but the more middle-aged and elderly people are more likely to fall into the misunderstanding area, that is, when it comes to practicing calligraphy, they think that it is difficult to start from the calligraphy, they think that it is easier to learn calligraphy, but there is no foundation in calligraphy, what to do? So it was very tangled. In fact, this is mainly a serious misunderstanding in understanding.
First, start with the basic skills
If you want to learn calligraphy well, the exercise of basic skills is a must, this basic skill is not a simple script, but includes the understanding of the strokes and the structure of the frame, as well as the grasp of the overall chapter, the lack of systematic basic skills cognition, even if you write the letter is very neat, it is difficult to change to the study of the book is difficult to do whatever you want, even if you write, it is as soft as a boneless, no style.
Second, we must have a minimum understanding of the study of the book
The characteristics of the writing are that the pen and the pen are connected or the pen is broken, and each word should reflect the interconnection between the words and the words, and the interconnection between the strokes. This correlation is not our usual writing habits, but naturally formed in the long-term exercise process, and this correlation is not how we want to write, but to follow the ancient calligraphers' writing rules and stroke order to write.
If you want to learn the xingshu well, you can start with the Kaixingshu and xingkaishu, the best of which is the posters of Chu Suiliang, Zhao Meng, Yan Zhenqing, etc.
Third, continuously improve their calligraphy theoretical literacy
If a person feels that his calligraphy has not made much progress for a long time, the main reason is not that he has not practiced diligently enough, but that his calligraphic thinking and calligraphy literacy have not kept up.
We often say that the eye hand is low, which refers to a person's vision is relatively high, but when it comes to starting, when it comes to writing, it always feels that it cannot meet their own requirements, which is mainly because our hands, eyes, and brains have not reached the unity of coordination.
With thousands of iterations of training, it is difficult for a calligraphy lover to achieve the delicate movements of an acrobat.
This is also like writing an article, "a good book is not tired of reading a hundred times, and it is familiar with deep thinking and self-knowledge." In fact, when we learn any skill, we must first have very sufficient theoretical knowledge, to build a high plane, to let our thoughts guide our actions, if your knowledge is relatively low, it is impossible to write a font that looks better than your knowledge.
This is like practicing martial arts, practicing to a certain realm, only need to understand the mental method, so as to achieve the realm of the unity of heaven and man, no one and no self, and the realm of loneliness and defeat.
Therefore, if you want to continuously improve your calligraphy level, you must make your calligraphy literacy take precedence over your calligraphy skills, so that your insight will always be higher than your skills at hand, which is the basis for a person's continuous progress.
Fourth, learning calligraphy is the most taboo to rush to success
The reason why many people do not learn calligraphy well is not that they do not have the talent in this area, but that they lack a long-term training and lack the perseverance to persevere. At the same time, there is also a misunderstanding in understanding, always thinking that their writing progress is relatively slow or always thinking of rushing to achieve results, let others identify with themselves as soon as possible, or see the results as soon as possible.
But these are unrealistic, this is just like the self-media platform to publish articles, there are many people always think of casually writing articles, you can earn two or three hundred yuan a day like others, or a monthly income of tens of thousands of yuan, in fact, this is all whimsical, wishful thinking, no long-term training, not in their own professional field to get ahead, if you want to have gains that is indeed impossible.
Anyone who can make money and become famous in any field, or who can become a leader in this field, they must be very good and outstanding in this field. And those who suddenly achieve great success or benefit in a short period of time, in addition to luck, as the saying goes, you will never make more money than you know, and if this happens, then one day you will inevitably lose it one day.
It is easy to insist on one day or two days, the difficulty is to insist on it every day, or, even if you can't do it every day, set yourself a minimum goal every week to complete, however, for most people, what restricts our development is not a variety of external factors, but our own determination and perseverance. This is especially true in calligraphy, if a person dares to invest time in calligraphy, not too much, two hours a day, for three months, this person's calligraphy is enough to make people look at it, but the premise is that, as I said, get the Fa, get the Tao, and then persist.
